But he was an W exception. Many of his fellow camp-mates had only averaged two. For some, like writer Ha Ngoc Anh, 23, and sculptor Su Su Hlaing, 19, the AYC marked their first visit to another ASEAN country. Since 2000, the AYC has given young persons a chance to build friendships and have first hand experiences in another ASEAN country. A project of the ASEAN Committee on Culture and Information, the AYC aims to build a stronger regional identity among ASEAN’s youth, focusing on the arts to raise awareness of Southeast Asia’s history and heritage. So for twelve days in January, fifty young persons came together to learn, discuss and dabble in artistic collaborations. The theme of the 2006 AYC, “ADHESION: Water and the Arts”, was chosen to reflect the role of the sea and waterways in shaping the civilisations and cultures in ASEAN. Learning and bonding continued over visits to places like Kampung Air. Post-camp, most participants wanted ASEAN to provide more opportunities for young people to interact and get to know more about ASEAN and one another. As visual artist Willy Himawan, 23, put it, “there are many talented young people who could not join the camp but have great ideas Youthful Observations on ASEAN to help ASEAN fulfill its aims.” “ASEAN countries cooperate well.” Sharlene Teo, 18, writer With 60 percent of ASEAN’s population under the age of thirty, young people will play a critical role in ASEAN’s community-building efforts.

Drawing from the theme “ASEAN Community I Building for the ASEAN People”, Member Countries organised a variety of events in the days leading up to August 2005, involving their citizens in the celebrations. As such, a wide cross section of the ASEAN community was able to participate in the festivities which included roundtable discussions, school debates, art and essay contests, exhibitions, family day gatherings, sports events and food fairs.

With the landmark 2005 Kuala Lumpur Declaration on the Establishment of the ASEAN Charter, the ASEAN Leaders have made a commitment to bring about a historic transformation of ASEAN from being a loosely organised political grouping to a more rules-based international organisation with a legal personality under international law, and from having a state- centric focus to a more people-centred orientation. An Eminent Persons Group (referred to “The ASEAN Charter is the most as the EPG) on the ASEAN Charter was significant development in all formed in December 2005 to give of ASEAN’s thirty-eight years.“ Tun Musa Hitam, Chairman of the EPG, briefs the press Tun Musa Hitam recommendations on how to engender Chairman of the EPG on the this transformation. ASEAN Charter Six months into its term, the EPG has held three meetings and plans to have at least three more. It has tasked itself with generating bold and visionary ideas on both the direction and structure of ASEAN. To help focus and tune its recommendations, the EPG has picked the brains of the ASEAN leadership, ASEAN Ministers, ASEAN Secretaries-General past and present, think-tanks and civil society organisations. The EPG will submit its report and recommendations to the 12th ASEAN Summit in December 2006. The actual drafting of the Charter is expected Members of civil society present their views to the EPG on the ASEAN Charter to be done by a High-Level Task Force in 2007.

A corresponding vap! web portal (www.visitasean.travel) allows one-stop online bookings of airline tickets, hotels and tours. Currently operational between tourism service providers in ASEAN and travel agents worldwide, the portal is expected to be opened to the public in late 2006. The vap! is an initiative to develop ASEAN as a single tourism destination and sustain the upward trend of international tourist arrivals which surpassed fifty-one million in 2005, a year-on-year increase of 5 percent. Tourism is one of the region’s most important and dynamic industries and has provided employment and business opportunities for a significant portion of the community in each ASEAN Member Country. It reaches both Halong Bay, Viet Nam the large and the small to medium-sized enterprises. It also provides opportunities for people in outlying areas to generate income and wealth. The vap! also serves to promote more intra-ASEAN travel so that the people of ASEAN too have an economical means to enjoy Southeast Asia’s renowned island resorts, historical sites (including two “wonders of the world”), natural landscapes, modern cities and diverse cultural and arts scene. Looking ahead, ASEAN will place added emphasis on the growing sector of youth travellers with plans to launch specially targeted vap! packages for young people. A taste of culture in Rizal Park, Philippines The diversity of ASEAN 10 II ASEAN Annual Report 2005-2006 ASEAN Heritage Parks hile Southeast Asia comprises only three percent of the global land surface, it is home to twenty percent W of all known species. There are approximately 27,000 species that are endemic to the ASEAN region. Since 2003, ASEAN has sought to protect this rich natural heritage and preserve a complete spectrum of representative ecosystems in the region by designating park areas of high conservation importance as ASEAN Heritage Parks. The ASEAN Heritage Parks Programme facilitates greater collaboration among the ten ASEAN Member Countries in activities like joint research, information sharing, park management capacity building and the secondment of technical experts. In promoting eco-tourism in the twenty-seven designated parks, Iglit-Baco National Park, Philippines the Programme also aims to raise the ASEAN public’s awareness and interest in ASEAN’s rich biodiversity, and facilitate appreciation and enjoyment of these natural parks for generations to come. The ASEAN Heritage Parks Programme received a boost in September 2005 with the establishment of the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity (ACB). The ACB is the operational arm of all ASEAN initiatives on biodiversity and will now shepherd the ASEAN Heritage Parks Programme, ensuring that personnel and funding is in place for effective implementation of the Programme’s initiatives.

  • Marbled Cat Pardofelis Marmorata at Virachey National Park, Ratanakiri, Cambodia
    SEAVR 2016: 72-74 ISSN : 2424-8525 Date of publication: 13 May 2016. Hosted online by ecologyasia.com Marbled Cat Pardofelis marmorata at Virachey National Park, Ratanakiri, Cambodia Gregory Edward McCann greg.mccann1 @ gmail.com Observer: Gregory Edward McCann (camera trap installer) Photographs by: Habitat ID (www.habitatid.org) & Virachey National Park staff. Subject identified by: Gregory Edward McCann. Location: Virachey National Park, Ratanakiri province, Cambodia. Elevation: 1,455 metres. Habitat: Bamboo-dominated forest on mountain ridge. Date and time: 24 January 2016, 13:29 hrs. Identity of subject: Marbled Cat, Pardofelis marmorata (Mammalia: Carnivora: Felidae). Description of record: A lone Marbled Cat was photographed by camera trap in Virachey National Park (VNP), on the summit of Phnom Haling, one of the highest mountain ridges in northeast Cambodia, in an area dominated by bamboo (Figs. 1 and 2.). Fig. 1 : Full frame camera trap image. © Gregory Edward McCann 72 Fig. 2 : Cropped camera trap image. © Gregory Edward McCann Remarks: The subject is identified as a Marbled Cat Pardofelis marmorata based on its fur patterning, which includes large, dark blotches on its limbs, and its stocky shape. In addition the 'cloudy' pattern of lines on its back distinguishes it from the larger Clouded Leopard Neofelis nebulosa. It appears to be an adult and, based on its posture and the condition of its coat, it seems to be in healthy condition. Preliminary results of an on-going camera trapping program in VNP (which commenced in January 2014) have, as of March 2016, also resulted in 13 other trigger events of Marbled Cat, from seven different camera stations.

  • The Asean Heritage Parks Are Educational and Inspiratio
    Factsheet : Asean Heritage Parks Overview of Asean Heritage Parks (AHPs) The Asean Heritage Parks are educational and inspirational sites of high conservation importance , preserving a complete spectrum of representative ecosystems of the Asean region. These parks embody the aspirations of the people of the ten Asean nations to conserve their natural treasures. It was established to generate greater awareness, pride, appreciation, enjoyment and conservation of the Asean region’s rich natural heritage through a regional network of representative protected areas. A designation as an AHP is both an honour and a responsibility. The country accepts the responsibility to ensure the best possible level of protection is afforded to the site. The Asean Declaration on Heritage Parks In December 2003 at Yangon, all the Ministers of Environment of Asean member states accepted the principles of Asean Heritage Parks (AHPs) and jointly agreed to participate within the AHPs program to establish, develop and protect the designated parks. The 2003 declaration constitutes a reiteration of an earlier agreement in 1884, initiated by a smaller Asean. This declaration underscores the common cooperation between member states for the development and implementation of regional conservation and management action plans. Criteria for Nomination/ Award: Criteria Description Ecological An intact ecological process and capability to regenerate with completeness minimal human intervention. Representativeness The variety of ecosystems or species typical of a particular region. Naturalness In natural condition such as a second-growth forest or a rescued coral reef formation, with natural processes still going on. High conservation Has global significance for the conservation of important or importance valuable species, ecosystems or genetic resources; evokes respect for nature when people see it, as well as feeling of loss when its natural condition is lost.

Ia menjadikan Malaysia berada di tempat ke-12 di dunia dari segi kemewahan biodiversiti. Kepelbagaian dan keunikan biodiverisiti di Malaysia telah menarik kedatangan ramai pelancong dari serata dunia. Kajian ini cuba meneliti cabaran yang dihadapi oleh penduduk setempat untuk meningkatkan taraf hidup mereka menerusi sektor ekopelancongan yang sedia ada. Sabah merupakan antara negeri di Malaysia yang menjadi tumpuan pelancong. Hutan hujan tropikanya yang dihuni oleh penghuni pokok paling berat di dunia, iaitu orang utan, dan keunikan pantai dan dasar laut di Pulau Mabul menjadikan dua daerah, iaitu Semporna dan Sandakan di Sabah, berpotensi besar menjadi pusat ekopelancongan di Malaysia. Walaupun kedua-dua kawasan ini adalah tumpuan pelancong, statistik menunjukkan Sabah adalah negeri yang paling miskin berbanding negeri-negeri lain di Malaysia. Persoalan yang lebih penting ialah mampukah ekopelancongan menjana ekonomi setempat dan mengurangkan kemiskinan? Bagi menjawab persoalan tersebut, artikel

  • NATIONAL PARKS I0 September, 1987 Mr
    INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS JHM-6 Penang, Malaysia NATIONAL PARKS I0 September, 1987 Mr. Peter Bird Martin Executive Director Institute of Current World Affairs West Wheelock Street Hanover, NH 03755 LISA Dear Peter, Malaysia's national parks are some of the most impressive places I've seen anywhere. Including lowland and montane forests, mangroves, freshwater swamps, rivers, caves, and islands,.they contain representatives of most ecosystem types found in this region. These areas and Malaysia's nature reserves are virtually the only places where almost no Malaysian is allowed to achieve a feeling of accomplishment in putting something into the jungle, opening a wilderness, OF developing a wasteland. The area also tle only places of scaFce luman habitation where a foreigner-without pressing economic need can go without being considered a bit mad by most Malaysians. Malaysia does not tave a unified system of national parks; there is only one national park under Malaysia's federal authority. The Feat of the parks are in East Malaysia (Borneo) where the states of Sabah and SaFawak each retain autonomy in land use and forest management matters. Malaysia now l]as 17 national parks, overall (counting a few in East Malaysia still in initial stages of being constituted). In addition, there are i0 nature reserves in Peninsular Malaysia under the authority of Perhilitan (the federal office of wildlife and national parks) and several more in East Malaysia provided with varying levels of protection from encroachment OF development under state forest and wildlife protection laws. However, suffice it to say that Malaysia has just over a million hectares c)f terrestrial parks and reserves.
